USSOCOM Air Loitering Munition (ALM)
The USSOCOM is conducting market research for an Air Loitering Munition (ALM) Stand-Off Precision Guided Munition with extended range, seeking industry input on spiral development, engineering, and production capabilities. The munition must be air-launched from SOF fixed-wing platforms, weigh no more than 95 lbs, and achieve a minimum range of 75 nautical miles with at least 40 minutes of loitering time. Performance location is not specified, but the system must integrate with SOF aircraft like the AC-130J. No budget is specified, but a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate is requested for a capability demonstration. White papers are accepted for 30 days after the RFI posting date.
